Album Notes

NYC-based violin/guitar duo Brazz Tree continues to astound and endear audiences across the country with their brand of music: New World Acoustic Rock. Though it draws on traditional forms born in places as far-flung as Ireland and India, their Music remains firmly rooted in the exuberant, questing ethos of the New World. Since they began touring in 2004, Brazz Tree has traveled extensively throughout the U.S. and the Netherlands playing colleges and Universities, Theaters, Clubs, Art Centers, church coffeehouses, house concerts and libraries. They have performed at the SXSW Music Festival's World and Eclectic Music stage in Austin, TX and were on the Relix magazine compilation CD, as well as in their "Listen Up" section. Brazz Tree has received Radio play from across the country including a spotlight on NPR and Acoustic Cafe (ACAFE) as "one to watch". They have performed on the Woodsongs Radio Hour at the Lexington Theater (Lexington, KY) to a sold out crowd, WVIA's Homegrown Music Series and WNYC's Soundcheck with John Schaefer in which they were selected as one of 2007 best live performances. Brazz Tree's first CD "…Quest…" was released in 2004. It included rising tabla star, Suphala and Jason DiMatteo on double bass. Their seconnd album 'Sprial On' was the next step in the evolution of the band with a much more complex sound incorporating electric bass and guitar, drums, loops and samples and a string ensemble. Brazz Tree's third release 'Strings' is the reworking of songs from their previous albums backed by a string ensemble.
